Saxon Cancels Australian Tour Dates

Saxon has issued the following announcement about canceling the band's scheduled Australian shows:

"Dear fans, we are unfortunately forced to cancel our Australia trip due scheduling problems with the new album recordings.

"We apologize for canceling but due to the bad weather conditions we had in the UK during the recording sessions we have suffered various delays and we can't just drop the production and leave - we have producers booked and mix engineers waiting to finish the album, which is titled 'Call To Arms.'

"We have looked at this from all sides, but too many people are involved so we have made the choice to finish the album and we apologize again. We hope you can understand that we have not made this decision lightly."
